A lovely rich cab in classic Husic style. Deep purple, almost black color, with some fine sediment thrown. Dark fruit nose with clove, oak and wet stone. Blackberry, cherry, black currants, tobacco over firm tannins. Sensation of thickness, slightly sweet. Long resonant finish. Big but not overblown. A fave.

This wine has a lovely deep inky purple color, throwing moderately heavy sediment in the neck. Nose of black fruit, cloves and roasted meat. Blackberry, black currant, orange peel, plenty of bright acidity and a touch of gravel. Tannins are rounded but firm. Syrupy thick feel we’ve come to expect from Husic’s cabs. Long tart finish. Not the most balanced wine, but very enjoyable.

At peak and should drink well for at least 10 more years.

Rich, balanced, no hard edges. In a really great spot right now with some lovely tertiary flavors poking through.
Whilst I don’t think this will live for ever, it should be good for the next 3-5.

Bought bottle at Honolulu tasting with Frank Husic. First bottle drunk. Elegant and well structured.
